Special Correspondence Kennebec Journal. !
EAsTPoRr, Me Oct. 10.
1t will be remembered that the great fire in
Eastport a year ago originated on one of the
wharves at the Southern extremity of Water
street, and sweeping north destroyed the
entire business portion of the city. What
was then left heap of black and smoking
ruins, the energy, courage and capital of its
people are now transforming it into a stately
and beautiful section. A ssrdine factory has
been built, the International Steamship Co.,
has erected new and more convenient accom-
modations, and, with a few exceptions, all
the old wharves have been rebuilt. The new
blocks, which replace the old, are of wood
and brick. Most of the wooden blocks are
already finished and occupied, and the brick
blocks are rapidly nearing completion. The
Frontier National Bank, which was complete
ly gutted has been re-fnished and
appears like new building. The Eastport
Savings Bank is rebuilding on its
old site, which Is at the confluence of two
having store facing on one street, aud the
bank and office facing on the other. On the
opposite corner the Masonic Lodge of East
port are erecting handsome structure.
The "Quoddy" house is in new but fully
as convenient location as before. 1t is a
large, commodious wooding building, elegant
in all its appointments.
One of Eastport's prominent business men,
speaking on this subject said that Eastport
was committing the same error many other
places had made under like circumstance
that of expanding more money than she
could really afford at the time, "but wher
the first pinch is over" continued he, "and she
begins to recover from her financial EN-
barassment she will be well repaid for hel
present extravaganza in that direction"

A good story is told of Senator conkl;no
winch l believe has never before appeared in
print. The late Hon. Shepherd Pike was
Formerly editor of the New York Tribune,
and during that time he became yery int.
mately acquainted with Roscoe Conkling.
During the summer of 1870 while Mr.. Pike
was at his delightful home in Robbins,on
senator Conkling came on TO visit him. and
expressed desire to see some Representative
OF the PassamaquoddY tribe of indians and
mr.. fike' to crafty his distinguished guest
invited the governor Of the tribe to dine with
MIN. The invitation was promptly accepted
ana the dinner was enjoyed by all present,
not the least, by the governor himself The
next day young indian appeared at Mr..
fike's door and extended an invitation to MI
Pike and Senator Conklng to dine with him
at Pleasant Point the following day. As Mr..
Conkling was inclined to accept the invitation

or accepting the invitation to dine with him.
him. The governor of the Passamaquoddies
had evidently watched more closely than his
host had noticed, that the dinner at Robbins
ton had been served in several courses. Soon
after their arrival dinner was announced.
They were seated at the table behind which
stood several young squaws. The governor
rang bell and the squaws hurriedly
departed, soon returning each with a
saucer containing mush and molas-
ses which was distributed around the
table occupied by the distinguished gentle
men and several aborigines After a few
mouthfuls had been taken the governor
turned abruptly to the squsws and gave the
order "take him off !" They grabbed the
ssucers and ran out of the room. Directly
he rang his bell and they returned bringing
the same dishes which they had just carried
away and again placed them before those
seated at the tables After again eating
mouthful or two the governor again gave his
order ''take him off !' again rang his bell and
the saucers were again brought back. This
was repeated several times until there came
an uncertain feeling as to whether the
same saucer was returned to the same
Individual every time or whether Senator
COnkling might be eating from the same dish
wnich was originally given to one of the tribe.
The dinner, however passed off pleasantly
and Senator Conkling and Mr.. Pike enjoyed
giving to their friends a description of their
dinner in courses which were all "the same
yet not the same"

recent issue of the Journal an inter-
view with Mr.. Hiram Clark upon the subject
of his new drop axle. combination wagon
was presented our readers. In this inter-
view reference was made several times to the
Phillips wagon upon which Mr.. Clark claimed
his an improvement embracing several dis
tinct features Mr.. Phillips in communi-
cation to the Journal takes exceptions to Mr..
Clark's statements which in justice to Mr..
Phillips the Journal presents in substance.
Mr.. Phillips claims that the principle OF the
two inventions is the same and that he
has EMPLOYED it for a long time in the con-
struction of wagons designed for heavy loads.
He claims that ip points of capacity, distriou-
ton of weight of load upon the fore and hind
axles and in ability to turn in small areas bis
wagon is equal if not superior to Mr.. Clark's.
In draft Mr. Phillips claims superior advan-
tages and that he can prove Mr.. Clarks patent
an infringement upon his own. The only
difference in the two wagons which Mr. Phll-
Inns will admit is the fifth wheel arrangement
on the centre reach which enables the Clark
wagon to cramp short. Mr.. Clark has,
he says, not invented this but adopted a
principle which has been employed
in another country for a long time. The
Journal states these facts yet in fairness TO MIR.
Clark must repeat that his invention has
been considered at Washington of sufficient
individuality to warrant letters patent. These
Mr.. Phillips will contest in the courts and
sometime in the future the public will get a
decision favorable to one or the other OF
these two gentlemen.
